How Do We Compare?

Rental Moving Trailers:

American Portable Mini Storage™ units are delivered to you. No need to arrange
to pick up a moving van or truck. We deliver our portable storage containers
directly to your home or place of business. Moving vans and trailers are
anything but convenient. First, you have to call around and find a van or
truck that's available for the day(s) you need it. Second, if it's a trailer,
such as a U-Haul® brand trailer, you'll need to arrange to have a trailer
hitch installed, and connect the lights to your vehicle's light system.
What a hassle! We work hard to eliminate the hassle and make your moving
needs as trouble-free as possible.

Companies such as U-Haul ® and others have been the only alternative
for decades. Now, you have another choice. No need to deal with the
difficulty of driving and backing up with a trailer. No worries about
daily fees (our units are rented at a very low monthly cost.) No parking
hassles, no worries about ruining your car's transmission, no hooking and
unhooking of the trailer. Again, our primary aim is to make our moving
and storage solutions as easy and convenient as possible. On occasion, our customers
demand portable mini storage units to be delivered right away and our customer service
staff does everything in their pwer to see that the request is fulfilled.

Rental Trucks:

Penske, Uhaul, Budget, Ryder, and many others;
all good and solid traditional companies which serve a traditional need,
but... today's consumers want a choice. Portable storage units from
American Portable Mini Storage™ provide that choice. Our extensive market
research helped us to design our units for the most efficient use. Our
portable storage containers are taller than most moving vans. We designed
our self-storage units for maximum efficiency.

On their website, Uhaul ® asks the question, "Which would you rather load?" Here's the photo from their website which illustrates the question:

Here's an American Portable Mini Storage™ unit:

So, we ask the same question... "Which would you rather load?

And a few more questions:

Would you rather drive to a moving van or truck rental company location (with two drivers) to pick up a moving van or have an on-demand storage and moving container delivered to your door?

Would you prefer the option of a climate controlled storage unit, allowing you to set the optimal temperature and humidity level for storing your valuable possessions or store your possessions in a non-climate-controlled moving van?

Would you rather pay the mileage and high gasoline fees for a rental truck or pay a set fee for delivery?

Would you prefer to pay the daily rental fees for a rental trailer or moving van or pay the low monthly rental fee for an American Portable Mini Storage™ container?

American Portable Mini Storage™ recognizes the occasional need for moving vans
and trailers and we appreciate companies such as Uhaul, Penske and Budget
that provide good solutions. We, however, have found that our portable
storage units are both more cost effective and convenient to meet most
moving and storage needs. Like moving vans, (and unlike self-storage)
there is no need to pack and unpack your belongings more than once. But,
unlike moving vans, our portable storage units are much easier to use.
We handle the transportation, you can keep the unit as long as you need
for a low monthly cost, and our units are designed for ease of use
and long term storage.

Our mission, in forming and growing American Portable Mini Storage™ has
always been and will remain meeting the needs of the customer. Our solutions
are designed to protect your delicate and valuable possessions. Our drivers
are courteous and professional. Our aim is to make your moving experience
as care-free as possible.

Self-storage:

Self-storage that comes to you; American Portable delivers storage
units to your home or office. Why rent both a truck and a self-storage
unit when a portable container from American Portable Mini Storage™
can fill both needs. Self-storage locations from companies such as
Public Storage ® can be a good solution for long term storage
needs. Like self-storage rental units, our potable containers,
delivered on-demand, provide secure temporary or long-term storage
for your valuable possessions. Unlike self-storage units, however,
portable storage units from American Portable Mini Storage™ can be
packed right at your location.

After you've filled the portable storage unit, you can either leave
it in place on your property, or for longer term storage, we'll pick
up the filled unit and transport it to our secure location. What
could be simpler?

Further, American Portable Mini Storage™ has units available which
are climate controlled. These units maintain both temperature and
humidity at levels which have been carefully selected to provide
the optimum environment for storing furniture, household and
personal belongings, appliances, electronics, etc. The protection
of your precious belongings is of utmost importance to you and to us.
Don't trust your important possessions to a traditional self-storage
rental unit which is not climate controlled. The high summer
temperatures and humidity can cause permanent damage to wood,
electronics, fabrics, as well as many other household goods.

For commercial applications, such as temporary office storage for
files or supplies, climate control is paramount as well. We understand
well the need for the highest level of care for your business records,
furniture and other assets. Our portable storage units are delivered
to your business, making loading most convenient. This also minimizes
time in transit, lowering the risk of the damage that might occur
when hauling your business assets to a self-storage unit.

A Better Solution:

As we've stated, American Portable Mini Storage™ has as its mission
maximizing the convenience to our customers, while taking the necessary
steps to provide a safe, secure, climate-controlled storage space for
your belongings, whether personal or business. Our desire to provide
effective solutions to our customers is unmatched in the moving
services and storage industries. Give us a try. You won't be disappointed.
